Critics' Reviews

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
See it in one glorious shot, grab as much from it as you can and run like hell. I say that not because I hated Masked & Anonymous, but because I loved it.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Dan DeLuca
Isn't a good movie, at least by any conventional definition of the word good. But it's not a bad movie, either. It's a Bob Dylan movie.Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
It's only when the film attempts to express its ideas in spoken English that logic dissolves into a muddle that would test the most rabid Dylanologist.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
Requires tremendous restraint not to conclude that this entertainingly apocalyptic mess is about nothing, since it may well be about everything. But I doubt it.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
A fascinating, vexing, indulgent, visionary, pretentious, mesmerizing pop culture curio.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Michael Atkinson
Only Giovanni Ribisi, with a back-of-the-bus speech about the betrayals of insurgent and counter-insurgent politics, finds a genuine moment. All the same, for some unfathomable reason, Dylan's autumnal self-salute is not particularly difficult to watch.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Dana Stevens
An unholy, incoherent mess.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Michael O'Sullivan
Simply painful to watch as the doomed vehicle it's trapped in comes whistling toward a fiery crash landing.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kevin Thomas
The look of the film is great, the soundtrack glorious, but more often than not the dialogue is atrocious, featuring a lot of long-winded gobbledygook.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Ty Burr
The exact cinematic equivalent of a classic Bob Dylan song. It's also proof that what is towering genius in one medium can go insanely wrong in another.Read Full Review »
